The Open Wheel Modified division returned to Lancaster Speedway on Saturday night, with Kyle Strickler securing the big win.

With the front row of Strickler and Hank Edwards,the fans were on their feet.

When the green flag dropped, it was Strickler powering to the lead, with Edwards on his bumper. Strickler and Edwards put distance between them and the rest of the field. The man on the move was rear starter Rob McLaughlin.

University of South Carolina reliever Steven Neff, a former Lancaster High and Post 31 Legion baseball star, posted his second win this season on Tuesday night at Carolina Stadium where the Gamecocks pounded Furman 11-6.

Neff notched the win with a perfect inning of relief and one strikeout. He is 2-1 for the year.

Neff, in 13 appearances this season, has a 4.51 earned run average with 15 strikeouts and six walks.

The P-31 senior team, in its 67th season, will be guided by Tyler Anderson, a former Lancaster Legion baseball assistant.

“We have a great deal of talent on this team,” said Anderson, who saw his club down Camden Post 17 in its opener Thursday night at Eggleton Field. “I feel it’s a matter of putting it together. We have a strong team.”
